Chapter Ninety-Six: You're sure

Xiong Rulin was immediately awakened by Liu Guanting's meaningful words:

"Yes, why did I make such a low-level mistake, not to mention that rats don't like to eat rice, even if Yang Weiping of "Youth Digest", a great writer who is based on youth campus novels all the year round, probably doesn't have such a terrifying appeal, right? It's over, this impatience almost ruined his good deeds. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After thinking about this, Xiong Rulin unconsciously swallowed his saliva, and whispered uncertainly:

"That's... So what do you mean, Editor-in-Chief Liu? ”

"What do I mean?"

Liu Guanting fiddled with the purple sand cup in his hand with one hand, looked at Xiong Rulin with a smile and continued:

"Although I don't know, Little Bear, why do you so strongly admire this mouse for not liking rice, this author, maybe you have contact in private, but I can turn a blind eye, but there is something I still have to say."

"You... You say Editor-in-Chief Liu. ”

Xiong Rulin was suddenly shivered by Liu Guanting's words, although the temperature in Hanyang is now close to minus 7 degrees, but he still unconsciously oozes a drop of sweat on his forehead:

Indeed, as Liu Guanting said, in private, Xiong Rulin did have some more private verbal agreements with rats who don't like to eat rice. Of course, this kind of agreement is naturally something that cannot be seen."

Seeing his sincere and frightened appearance, Liu Guanting looked like a mirror in his heart, and the smile on his face remained unchanged and continued to say quietly:

"So I think it's better to publish a reader survey on the official website, and when the time comes, you just need to see some comments and opinions from readers on this issue. Naturally, you will be able to figure out the real reason for the surge in sales this time. ”

When he said the last few words, Liu Guanting unconsciously increased his tone, and the cold sweat on Xiong Rulin's forehead, who only listened, flowed down his sideburns.

Although Liu Guanting has just entered the "Novel Monthly" for a few months, he also knows that the water in this century-old magazine is very deep, but after all, he has been in this industry for some years, what kind of moth has he not seen? So the little caution that Xiong Rulin played in front of him had already been played by him with some of the remaining bad routines. And in this industry, it has long been common for editors to join forces with novel authors in private, and to pit magazine manuscript fees, but in this case, Liu Guanting can only knock on the side and beat Xiong Rulin, after all, he hasn't gained a firm foothold, and there is no need to tear his face with the other party, right?

Moreover, the so-called return masterpiece of the mouse does not like to eat rice, he Liu Guanting had already read it when he received the sales report submitted to him today, and it was not very well written. Although literary works have always been difficult to reconcile in this aspect, everyone has their own preferences, so Liu Guanting did not directly beat the mouse to death if he didn't like to eat rice, so he simply kicked the ball directly to the readers of "Novel Monthly" and asked them to choose their favorite novels, which is very suitable.

Therefore, after he beat Xiong Rulin before, he did not continue to embarrass him further, but took the initiative to give the other party a step down, but just talking about the questionnaire survey, how to say it also requires a relatively long period of accumulation process, and it is difficult to provide any valuable clues from the data collected in a short time. And it just so happened that he had just discovered that Xiong Rulin and the rat didn't like to eat rice, and they had something unsavory in private, so it was hard to guarantee that these two people would not do anything in the next questionnaire.

Liu Guanting pondered for a moment, waved his hand to signal Xiong Rulin to go out first, and then picked up the phone on the desk and dialed out:

"Hey, is it Zhao Tianxiang from "Youth Digest"?"

"Haha, Lao Liu Du at this time, what are you still calling me for, is there something wrong?"

Hearing the bold man's voice on the other end of the phone, Liu Guanting smiled, and then said:

"Lao Zhao, if I'm not mistaken, the author you were in charge of before had a pen name for writing martial arts, rats don't like to eat rice, right?"

"yes? I remember if this kid switched to your "Novel Monthly"? I think he's still your main hit in this issue, why do you want to praise him at this time? ”

Hearing the rather surprised words on the other side, Liu Guanting didn't explain his words clearly, and asked again:

"Haha, it's hard to say right now, just try to push it. By the way, Lao Zhao, how much do you know about this rat not liking rice? ”

"Rats don't like to eat rice, I've dealt with him for a while, and I personally think his ability is actually quite average. At the beginning, "Once We Were Strangers" was just a good time, taking advantage of the east wind to catch up, not to mention anything else, you can see it clearly from his next few martial arts works. Suddenly the original form was revealed, and I have also watched his "The Heavy Rain We Missed in Those Years", and he is still the same old look, and he still hasn't made any progress. The writing is much inferior to his previous martial arts works, and the plot setting is also very blunt, I was still curious at the time? What was the original idea of your "Novel Monthly" to choose to launch this kind of unpopular work as the main feature? ”

Liu Guanting held the telephone receiver in his head, listening to the complaints of his old friend on the other side, and quickly recorded something in the notebook while picking up the pen. He pondered for a moment before continuing;

"I pushed it out in a daze last time. No, I took the time to read his work today, and I feel that the writing is really average. It's all written by other authors who use rotten old routines.,The subject matter is also to continue to eat the old book before.,And then in terms of writing, I compared it with his previous works.,I found that it's really a little unsatisfactory.,But there's a strange thing happened to us here? ”

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"Alas, this thing is also evil, obviously our main focus in this issue is a work with no bright spots, but the sales have increased a lot strangely?"

"Oh? That's how much it improves. ”

"101,000 copies~!"

"Oh . . . I see. ”

Lao Zhao on the other end of the phone listened, nodded very casually, when he was about to continue talking, he saw that his face changed instantly, and then Lao Zhao's round face was full of incredulity in an instant, he unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and continued to ask uncertainly:

"Are you sure?"
